I find it weird that President Obama promised not to raise taxes on the middle class, yet he let the payroll tax cut expire. Now employees will pay a 10 percent increase in payroll taxes.

— Sterling HeightsThe U.S. Postal Service is in need of money. It should get Lance Armstrong to refund all the money that he was given.

— Mount Clemens Regarding the state of the state address: Where was the helicopter beanie and please come back, Jennifer Granholm.

— Warren How can a president who has helped to cover-up the “fast and furious” scandal now come out with gun control measures? How hypocritical can you get?

— Sterling HeightsGov. Rick Snyder and the Republicans are really sticking it to us good.

— Clinton Township Gov. Rick Snyder claims to be a CPA. I think that is what is keeping him inside his box. He needs to think outside the box. For example, he could use Macomb, Oakland and Wayne County prisoners to build and repair the roads. By doing this, the state could save money to help feed and educate kids. Also, start ticketing the maniacs who speed on our roads. They are putting all of us at risk.

— Macomb Township Congress is taxing us into the poor house so it can keep adding all the pork to every bill that it passes. Now the state governor wants to increase our registration fees and gas tax to repair and build more roads. It should just stop spending foolishly.

— Warren Why do smokers think it is OK when to throw their cigarette butts out the car windows? Isn’t that what the ashtrays are for?
